For the first time in the history of the prestigious institution, the Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded to a woman, Elinor Ostrom. Ostrom teaches at Indiana University in Bloomington, USA, is one of the greatest scholars of the consequences of the relationship between humans and the environment. In particular, he focused his work on the study of common resources and their management, deepening the analysis of institutions that, over the centuries, have been created for this purpose.
Elinor Ostrom is a well known scholar in the United States, but soon translated into Italian. One of two volumes in our country has been recently published by Addison. He has an eloquent title: Knowledge as a common good, and focuses on a of the reflection on common assets, absolutely essential in contemporary society: the need to consider knowledge as a commons, as well available for all human beings, like water or air. With the important difference that the use of knowledge by a person not limit its use by another.
The debate on knowledge as a common good is very heated in the United States, and has already lasted some years. The outcome of this debate of course very, depends largely on the attitude of the society of tomorrow. The problems of access to information, the digital divide, copyright, they are all linked to this issue and are crucial for the evolution the informational society. It is therefore no accident that the Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded to its Ostrom, who is actually a science of politics: the debate today is nullifying the commons on a global scale.

KNOWLEDGE AS A COMMON GOOD
From theory to practice

But just when the its apparent greater accessibility, knowledge is subject to more restrictive rules on intellectual property, limiting access to online resources. These new forms of enclosures ipermoderne endangering the common good character of knowledge. And faced with this danger, this book stresses that knowledge should be a shared resource, the same propellant for modern companies that tie their prosperity and their development research, training and maximum social diffusion of knowledge and creative innovative. But how to preserve this asset in the era of globalized neoliberalism informational? How to avoid the ecological and social knowledge "Profit" from being overwhelmed by privatization? To achieve this great goal of democratic need to rethink intellectual property and copyright, but also the role of libraries, educational institutions and forms of digital creation and sharing of knowledge, as well as the way in which new digital content can be stored and made available through the Web open content, Creative Commons and open source can be an effective way of ensuring access to knowledge and greater and more democratic global spread.

KNOWLEDGE AS A COMMON GOOD
From theory to practice

by Paolo Ferri

Today through Internet knowledge is potentially available to all with a single click. But at the very moment of its apparent greater accessibility, knowledge is subject to more restrictive rules on intellectual property, limiting access to online resources. These new forms of enclosures ipermoderne endangering the common good character of knowledge. And faced with this danger, this book stresses that knowledge should be a shared resource, the same propellant for modern companies that tie their prosperity and their development research, alla formazione e alla massima diffusione sociale di saperi creativi e innovativi. Ma come preservare questo bene nell’epoca del neoliberismo informazionale globalizzato? Come evitare che il sistema ecologico-sociale della conoscenza “utile” venga travolto dalla privatizzazione? Per realizzare questo grande obiettivo democratico è necessario ripensare la proprietà intellettuale e il copyright, ma anche il ruolo delle biblioteche, delle istituzioni formative e delle forme di creazione e condivisione digitale dei saperi, così come il modo in cui i nuovi contenuti digitali possono essere conservati e resi disponibili attraverso il Web. Open content, Creative Commons e open source possono costituire un efficace modo di garantire l’accesso knowledge and making it more and more democratic global spread.
